The mothers of Zhu Gaoxu and others were enthroned as queens. In a few days, the meritorious officials of the "Jingnan" were rewarded for their merits, and many of them were named Duke, Marquis, and Bo. Only the children of the emperors had not yet been granted the title, Zhu Gaoxu and others were still at the level of the princes and princesses.

The prince was usually relatively idle and could not take care of any civil and military affairs in the court. Unless the emperor summoned him, Zhu Gaoxu didn't even have to go to daily affairs. Most of the time, he could be said to be doing nothing.

...The Prince of Gaoyang was in the capital for several months and had not caused any trouble, nor had he heard of a murder case. All the ministers felt very grateful. The rumors were that because of their lust, they had a beautiful young nun, brothel singing girl, and several stolen women. They were all day long in the mansion and had no time to cause trouble. After the subjects quietly discussed King Gaoyang, they went home to warn their wives and daughters not to get close to the streets of the Prince of Gaoyang's mansion.

However, occasionally, Zhu Gaoxu would go to Fengtian Gate to worship so that he would have some serious work and not have to stay so home.

On the first day of the fifth month, Zhu Gaoxu went again. When he arrived at Fengtian Gate, he saw that his elder brother was there, so the two brothers exchanged greetings.

Zhu Gaoxu also chatted with acquaintances Zhu Neng, Qiu Fu, Zhang Wu and others to learn about the recent big and small things of the imperial court.

When the emperor arrived, the courtiers who were originally talking to each other were standing in a mess in the imperial gate, lined up on both sides, waiting to bow and bow.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu found that many heroic and military generals were looking at the person in front of him, and people were displeased and even angry. The person the general looked at was the leader of the military ministers, and it was Li Jinglong!

Li Jinglong was originally a Duke of the Kingdom. After opening the Jinchuan Gate outside, he now looks like he is rising. Maybe he didn't look back at everyone's expressions, or maybe for some other reason, Li Jinglong stood there with his head raised, and seemed very proud.

When the emperor sat on the throne, everyone saluted, and the rituals and music were played according to the rules.

After the ceremony, when the eunuch said, "If you have something to say, you will leave the court without any trouble", the prince Zhu Gaochi stood up and bowed and said, "My son has something to say, you will report."

"Say." said the emperor's voice.

The prince said: "My son thought that Fang Zhongyi, the person who assassinated the censor Jingqing, was not originally surnamed Fang, and was not the son of Fang Xiaoru. He was named adopted son and was actually a slave. The court should not implicate the head of the family for the crime of a slave. Please surrender the favor and forgive him a little..."

After the prince said something, the imperial gate immediately started to discuss. Zhu Gaoxu was not careful and was surprised... The prince was very brave, so why was he so brave today and dared to say against his father's intention?

But Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while and felt that it seemed reasonable: someone must have given advice to the prince. Pleading for Fang Xiaoru is to give face to all scholars in the world, which is to win people's hearts!

Zhu Gaoxu turned to observe the officials who were talking, and indeed many people were nodding frequently while saying that. Now the prince’s reputation is better!

Now that the prince, prince and princess's vocation is still undecided, the eldest brother is also very hard-working as the eldest son. He has no choice but to be unable to get out of office.

Who gave him the idea? Zhu Gaoxu first thought of the monk Yao Guangxiao! Although Yao Guangxiao rarely left the prince's mansion since his father ascended the throne, his two confidants, Jin Zhong and Yuan Gong, had been very diligent in the prince's mansion.

Moreover, on the first day of the "Jingnan Army" entering Beijing, Yao Guangxiao asked Fang Xiaoru for love and tried his best to prevent his father from killing Fang Xiaoru. Fang Xiaoru was imprisoned in the imperial prison until today. Now Yao Guangxiao made plans to ask the prince to continue to persuade him, which should be a trick to kill two birds with one stone. While helping the prince, he could also do his best to Yao Guangxiao's own proposal.

After the throne was silent for a while, Zhu Di's voice said: "If you retreat, the court will have its own opinions."

"My son obeys the order." The prince bowed for a moment and retreated to the side. He did not insist, but only demanded love. No matter what the result was, scholars all over the world would appreciate his love.

Zhu Di's voice said again: "Li Jinglong, I heard that you were responsible for judging the "Taizu Records". In the past two days, you will go to the Hanlin Academy to continue doing this."

Li Jinglong immediately bowed and said, "I received the order and thanked the emperor for his kindness! I will devote myself to my whole life and fulfill my mission!"

Jin Shang actually asked Li Jinglong, a military general who was known as "both civil and military" to write books. Perhaps Li Jinglong was really a little more tactful... What happened to Xie Jin a while ago may have made Jin Shang think that it was unreliable to only hand over books to civil officials.

The emperor had said it many times in public that his biological mother was Empress Ma of Taizu Xiaoci Gao. Then Xie Jin had to find the file to check it. This was too much. Can't even remember who the emperor was born? What he said in person is wrong?

When Zhu Gaoxu saw this scene, he couldn't help but think: I'm afraid that this was the case in ancient courts. The things the center really wanted to do were never honest and open, and they had to guess and understand. Although there was a plaque hanging in the court that said righteous and open, it was useless.

...

After the morning court, Zhu Di reviewed the memorials and met the ministers. He was busy until noon and didn't even have time to have a good sip of tea. So after lunch, he looked for a room behind the Imperial Gate exhausted, and lay down to take a nap for a while.

In a daze, Zhu Di had a dream.

At first, he didn't know it was a dream, and thought he had woken up from his nap and was walking to the palace hall, but he felt something was wrong.

The palace and the dragon chaise were all things he was familiar with, but the hall was filled with smoke, as if it was foggy at night, and it seemed that it was not yet dawn in the morning. The dark blue light and the white fog on the ground made him feel cold all over.

It turned out to be in the Hall of Hell!

At this moment, several people came from the fog. When Zhu Di saw it, he was shocked and sweated. The ones walking in front were Taizu and Emperor Jianwen!

Emperor Jianwen said: The emperor’s grandfather, it was the fourth uncle who snatched my throne.

Taizu glared at Zhu Di: Come down, that seat is not for you to sit in!

Emperor Jianwen said: Have you heard the emperor’s grandfather’s words? Come down quickly! You are not qualified to sit on the throne, it should be mine.

Zhu Di wanted to argue that I just listened to Taizu's teachings. But he opened his mouth but couldn't say a word, and he felt very uncomfortable.

At this moment, two more people came over, one was his eldest son Zhu Gaochi, and the other was his second son Zhu Gaoxu.

A group of civil and military ministers came from behind. When the civil officials saw Zhu Gaochi, they knelt on the ground and bowed to Zhu Gaochi. They kept praising morality and saying that Gaochi was generous, kind and righteous, and Gaochi was good! Everyone ignored him Zhu Di!

Zhu Di was furious and wanted to say: I am still sitting on the throne, what do you mean? Gao Chi! I just sat in this position, and my butt was not hot yet, why are you anxious?

But he still couldn't speak.

The second son Gao Xu came over. Gao Xu suddenly drew out a sword and said: Father, I have made such a great contribution. I have beaten the world. Why don’t I give up the throne?

Zhu Di was already furious. While retreating, he pointed at Gao Xu, thinking that his own son actually pointed at me with weapons? Do you want to rebel? It's a rebellion!

... "Come!" Zhu Di sat up suddenly.

"Emperor, I'm here." A voice came from my ears.

Zhu Di opened his eyes and saw the sunlight coming from the window frames, and there was peace around him. Where was the fog? The group of people just now were gone. Only a group of eunuchs and palace maids stood in front of him.

Zhu Di took a deep breath and immediately realized that he was dreaming just now.

"Summon Hu Yi to see me!" Zhu Di immediately issued an order.

A eunuch said, "I received the order." After that, he stepped back and walked to the door, then turned around and walked out quickly.

Hu Yi was originally a minister of the Ministry of Revenue of Jianwen's court. After the Jingnan Army entered the city, he took the initiative to surrender and reported to the emperor that the main monk Puqian had a fire in Fengtian Palace and entered the palace. It was suspected that Puqian met Emperor Ying and helped Emperor Jianwen escape.

Zhu Di walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, and the eunuch Zheng He entered.

Zhu Di suddenly said again: "I heard that Zhang Fu's sister is very beautiful?"

Zheng He was stunned for a moment and said, "Although I have never seen it, I have heard of it. I believe that the sister of Anbo (Zhang Fu) is beautiful and beautiful, and she is wise and knowledgeable."

Zheng He's expression was a bit strange because he seemed to know something... During the Battle of Jingnan, he verbally agreed to ask Zhang Fu's sister to promise the prince to be a concubine. Because the time for filial piety has not yet come, no one has mentioned this matter.

And I heard that Zhang Fu's sister seems to look average...

But Zheng He is a tactful person. No matter whether he knows that or not, he must not know now.

"Well..." Zhu Di nodded after hearing this and continued walking back and forth in the room.

A long time later, an eunuch said, "Report to the emperor, Hu Yi, the minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was summoned to meet him."

"Let him come here to see me." Zhu Di said.

Soon, Hu Yi came to the office that Zhu Di randomly found. He knelt down first and received the imperial edict of "flat body" before standing up.

Hu Yi was a young man in his twenties and was born as a Jinshi. Zhu Di also had some doubts about whether this young man deliberately sued Pu Qiao in order to get to power.

But it is also possible that Hu Yi told the truth. After all, the court officials only knew that Emperor Jianwen had "burned himself", and no one said that Emperor Jianwen ran away. Hu Yi insisted that Emperor Jianwen ran away, and he was talking in front of the emperor. He probably knew something about the inside story.

"Pu Qia hasn't confessed yet?" Zhu Di asked directly.

Hu Yi bowed and said, "Reporting to the emperor, Pu Qia's confession is vague and there is no progress yet. I dare not use torture, because Pu Qia has an old age with a monk. I just learned about this matter and have to be careful. Besides, Pu Qia is the only clue at present, and I am afraid that he will have a few shortcomings, so this matter will be even more difficult."

"Are you talking about Daoyan?" Zhu Di asked.

Hu Yi was silent for a moment, and did not dare not not answer, so he clasped his fists and said, "That's right."

Zhu Di asked, "Daoyan said hello to you?"

Hu Yi said: "Return to the emperor, no words."

"Well..." Zhu Di made another unquestionable voice from his nose. After a moment, he said again: "It's not just Pu Qia. Ma is still in the palace. I asked someone to change her place, so you can go in and out for inquiries."

Hu Yi said: "I understand."

Zhu Di waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, hurry up and don't be too delayed."

Hu Yi hurriedly said, "I dare not, I thank you for your kindness and return."
